Doc this lines up with what you said in a post below about how detoxification helped you and others to become attuned and aware of more subtle energies and even have psychic experiences. There are more reasons for detoxification other than just trying to feel better. Detoxification changes our perspectives and helps to penetrate some of the veils created and maintained by brainwashing. Poisons produce distortions in our plasma fields, our minds and our physical bodies and they influence our beliefs. So detox is about peeking behind the illusions of this world.

Even though Yogis do oil pulling as part of their health regime its foundation and purpose is NOT a physical one. It's a spiritual one. Secondly the yogic practice of oil pulling is not to be an isolated practice to be entirely effective. It's an adjunct to an entire discipline that involves breathing exercises, eating only prescribed vegetarian foods, neti pot nasal cleansing, and extreme detoxification techniques such as swallowing 100 feet of cotton string to absorb mucus in the stomach which is then removed again via the mouth.

So oil pulling has been abstracted and is only one small part of an entire spiritual discipline. It is a spiritual discipline because its intention is to purify the body in order to remove toxic blockages that encumber the higher energy pathways in the body called the nadis. These nadis are like the meridians in the Chinese acupuncture system. The spiritual energy called the kundalini resides like a coiled serpent in the spine and seeks to be Awakened in all human beings. Devotees of gurus or spiritual masters always hope that the master will charge the inner kundalini of the devotee and stimulate the movement of this inner sacred force.

There are three aspects to this kundalini energy. They are called the ida, pingala and the sushumna. They are triumvirate of energy pathways. They are negative, positive and neutral channels and they weave themselves along the spinal column.

So yogic cleansing was originally developed as a spiritual process that would lead to higher awakening through stimulation of the sacred channels. And it works too. This is exactly what doc is saying. By removing these poisons we become psychically charged and can 'see' through the muck of this consensus reality field that we all live in. Cleansing has basically fallen down to a lower level of survival of the physical organism and the odds that the spiritual channels will be opened are reduced. We are fighting radiation as well as metals and chemicals. Right now cleansing is relegated to getting the toxic garbage away from our tissues so we can get up and go to work for the masters. Forget about enlightenment.

As for the teeth themselves. Wearing dentures means we are deprived of the electrical energy provided by the grinding of natural teeth that have no metals in them. Teeth and gum infections generally do not originate in the mouth. The majority of all gum and tooth issues actually originate in the small intestines. Dr Marshall says this. If the mouth is attacked by acids and bacteria its because it is being eliminated out from other overloaded organs of elimination. (Barefoot also says the same thing). When they are not functioning efficiently then waste matter is ejected out through the mouth. So oil pulling is a temporary fix the same as liver flushing. It does not necessarily address the causes.

When a person is being attacked by metals a primary natural defense is a layer of calcium and magnesium that line the walls of the small intestine. When we are low on minerals we no longer have that defense and the acids escaped through the channels in the body and migrate for elimination through the mouth. When a child has braces then they should be sure to have the mineral levels elevated to counter the metals in the mouth.

Agent Orange may have compromised the colon and the mineral levels were doing all they could to counter the chemicals. Marshall's primary defense in the body is to take coral calcium, cod liver oil, and a greens mix every day. This is the foundation of his entire health regime. There are four other building blocks as well. He recommends using neem oil and neem bark to reverse gum destruction and infections. This combination will actually rebuild the damaged tissue of receding gums. So health in the mouth is really a function of mineral levels and the ability of the body to neutralize and eliminate them too. Of course there is much more besides this too and we will continue on with this some more at a later time.
